How to Use the Cradl AI MCP in AutoGen
Let AutoGen agents debate document extraction results and routing rules using the Cradl AI MCP server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Cradl AI MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect Cradl AI to AutoGen and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Multi-agent OCR verification
Complex documents require scrutiny. One agent triggers `extract_data_from_url` to parse a contract, while a secondary auditor agent reviews the output. They negotiate over the results. The auditor checks the confidence scores via `get_task_status` and argues for human review if the numbers fall below a specific threshold.
Debate MCP Server workflow changes
Changing document routing rules impacts production. A configuration agent pulls current settings using `get_flow_details` to propose updates. A risk-averse agent challenges the proposal. It reviews the integration points and forces a consensus before any external system acts on the new flow structure.
Model selection by consensus
Picking the right schema matters. An explorer agent runs `search_models_by_name` to find candidates for a new batch of tax forms. Another agent pulls the metadata. By calling `get_model_details`, it compares extraction accuracy metrics and debates the explorer until they agree on the best model.
Set up Cradl AI MCP in AutoGen
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
autogen-ext[mcp]package - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install AutoGen with MCP
Run
pip install "autogen-ext[mcp]" autogen-agentchat. The MCP extension includesmcp_server_toolsfor stateless tool access. - 2
Fetch tools from the MCP
Call
mcp_server_tools(SseServerParams(url=...))with your Vinkius endpoint. Replace[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. - 3
Run your agent
Pass the tools to
AssistantAgentand callagent.run(). The agent invokes Cradl AI tools and returns structured results.
from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import SseServerParams, mcp_server_tools
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
server_params = SseServerParams(
url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)
tools = await mcp_server_tools(server_params)
agent = AssistantAgent(
name="Cradl AI_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Cradl AI data")
print(result.messages[-1].content) Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
autogen-ext[mcp]+autogen-agentchat - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install dependencies
Same packages as above.
McpWorkbenchis ideal when your agent needs stateful sessions across multiple tool calls. - 2
Use McpWorkbench as context manager
Wrap your agent in
async with McpWorkbench(...)to maintain shared state and resources. The workbench manages the full MCP session lifecycle. - 3
Run with workbench
Pass
workbench=workbenchto your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.
from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, SseServerParams
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
server_params = SseServerParams(
url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)
async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench:
agent = AssistantAgent(
name="Cradl AI_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Cradl AI data")
